Hmmm, interesting and fun trivia.

However, I'd like to place a word of caution to some of these "facts" because they are not exactly accurate. For example, "teeth" in mosquitoes and snails are not the teeth that we know of. Or the rat you mentioned is not all kinds of rats but specifically the kangaroo rat. There are some more but I do not want to be a wet blanket.

I actually salute you for putting these together. Your hub is definitely fun!

Thanks for sharing.

True enough on the kangaroo rat. We have lots of those here in the Sonoran desert. Their kidneys are so efficient that they can literally get all of the moisture they need to survive from the seeds and grasses they eat.

The 3-second memory span for golfish (love that tidbit!) is mentioned twice. Perhaps because hubbers also have short attention spans!

As for the parliament of owls...would that outrank a murder of crows? Hmmm.....

Loved this--especially the goldfish attention span. Reminds of some teenaged humans I've known, actually.

Uhh...Nicomp? Isn't the FAA already RUN by donkeys?
